“Start out with fact, he’s played that position in our offense for four years,” Landry said. “I always say that fullback is a misnomer in this offense, but the fullback is actually the guy who rarely has to block anybody. When you’ve played the same position in this system, it really gives you that sixth sense of what to look for and knowing where the cut’s going to be maybe even before it happens.”

So far this season, Landry has 542 yards and 13 touchdowns on just 55 carries.

“He’s really at a point in his career where he doesn’t have to think about,” Indest said. “Everything is just a reaction. What he lacks in size, because he's not a big guy, he is a fairly fast guy. He can run away from people when he gets in the secondary.”

Landry’s highlight game was in week 6 when he rushed for 147 yards and five scores on just nine carries. In fact, that began a two-week stretch in which Landry collected 285 yards and seven TDs on just 19 carries.

On Friday, Landry and the Panthers will try to wrap up the District 6-2A crow at Ascension Episcopal in Youngsville.
